Alternate outfits for the palette swaps

Post by Rocketman » Wed Oct 07, 2009 11:26 pm

In both Tenkaichi 3 (and Infinite World, but they overlap so closely T3's list will be used), there's characters who are unlucky enough to only have palette swaps for their alternate outfits. There's been complaints, but let's go farther.

In this thread, make suggestions for alternate outfits that these characters could have!

Note: DO NOT suggest costumes for characters not on these lists! There are a million and two threads where people say they want more outfits for Goku, this is not one of them!

Note 2: Badman Vegeta. There, I said it, now move on.

Here's all I could think of off the top of my head.

GT Goku (incl. SSJ4) - DragonBall era Kame Gi. Original blue gi.
Mystic Gohan - Future Gohan's Gi, Kaio outfit.
Vegeta (Android, Buu, Majin, SSJ4) - Battle damaged, GT getup, 25th Tenkaichi Budokai outfit.
Trunks (long hair) - Movie 8 outfit, Movie 9 outfit.
Kid Trunks - Future Trunks' Capsule Corp shirt (as seen in History of Trunks)
Vegetto - Orange Vegeta tights with Goku's wristbands and boots. Maybe Goku's hair style without bangs.
Ginyu - Goku with scouter, Captain Goku (Goku /w Scouter in Ginyu Uniform).
Freeza - Kuriza, Armored Freeza (I mean, the armor expands, right?)
King Cold - Armorless
Appule - Generic Freeza soldiers #3645 to #3781
#16 - Capsule Corp Armor (used by Vegeta, Trunks, Goku, and Gohan in the RoSaT)
Cell Jr. - Cell Jr. Forms 1 and 2, Green Cell Jr.
Babidi - Babidi
Tullece - Goku's Gi, purple Bardock armor.
Slug - Traditional Namekian clothes
Salza - Ginyu Force uniform.
Cooler - Armored
Broly - Saiyan Armor, tail showing (as in Toriyama's design), normal SSJ2/SSJ3 as opposed to LSSJ/LSSJ3
Future Gohan - ONLY ONE ARM. I MEAN HOLY SHIT GUYS.

Chef Vegeta. He'd have a black and red apron with the words "Hot Stuff" written on it. The apron would go ontop of his Buu arc outfit. He would also have an okonomiyaki-themed special attack in addition to standard Vegeta attacks.

Okay, without looking at anyone else's, I'm gonna try to think up something for every one of these, no matter how nonsensical or irrelevant... Go!

GT Goku (incl. SSJ4) - Either his Z or DB clothes, or maybe his 'AF' getup? :D
Mystic Gohan - His Kaioshin outfit is an obvious choice.
Vegeta (Android, Buu, Majin, SSJ4) -
Androids - BadMan, duh. Otherwise... his busted armor from his post-Freeza training, perhaps?
Buu - His civilian getup with the leather jacket from the end of Z. He had it in Budokai 1, if I recall.
Majin - ...An armored version, I guess? Or maybe a halo.
SSj4 - SSj4-ified mustache. :twisted:
Trunks (long hair) - His Movie 9 getup with the sleeveless jacket. Or at least just his Movie 8 outfit with the regular CC jacket.
Kid Trunks - His green-hoody civvies from Movie 10. I think he has this in one or more of the Budokai games.
Goten - His chinese outfit. Had it in previous games, I think.
Gotenks - Not much variety possible for somone who's ALWAYS worn the same outfit, and never can wear anything different unless he changes during his 30 minutes... I guess give him Goten or Trunks' outfits?
Gogeta, SSJ4 Gogeta - Same as for Gotenks. Goku or Vegeta's outfits.
Vegetto - Just alter his outfit depending on what costume Goku and Vegeta are wearing. Like if Goku's wearing his blue gi, and Vegeta's wearing the leather jacket I suggested earlier...
Mr. Satan - His "regal"-looking outfit from Movie 9.
Great Saiyawoman - Gohan's costume instead of hers?
Supreme Kai/Kibitokai - A big T-shirt that says "useless."
Yajirobe - His masked wrestler outfit from the 23rd Budokai.
Paikuhan - The obvious choice is without his weighted hat and robes.
Tapion - Was Minoshia's outfit any different from his? If not... dress him up like Trunks.
Pan - The Kame Gi, obviously. Like she wore at the 28th Budokai.
Uub/Super Uub - Papayaman!
Grandpa Gohan - Unless I'm mistaken, his mask comes off as part of his battle damage. It should be an alternate costume instead.
Nam - Erm... no turban?
#8 - His outfit in Path to Power was a little different than his one in the manga.
King Vegeta - Old-timey Saiyan animal skin-robes. Or an evening gown, for any GTR fans.
Selypa - Same as above, minus the dress.
Raditz - give him the older-style armor.
Saibaman - Tricky, this. Saibaimen don't wear clothes... So give him some!
Zarbon - A red, Hugh Hefner-style robe. ;)
Dodoria - Snorlax Cosplay.
Kwi, Ginyu, Jeice, Burter, Guldo - I can't think up anything clever, so I'll have to go with "different style armor" for these guys.
Freeza - Maybe make his Cyborg form just an alternate skin. There really wasn't much of a difference besides appearance...
King Kold - Ditch the cape.
Appule - Different style armor.
#16 - Take off the Red Ribbon logo and slap the Capsule Corp one on there instead.
#19 - Handless version!
#20 - Headless version!
Cell - Cell also doesn't typically wear clothes. So lets put him in a business suit!
Cell Jr. - ... Dress him up like a little kid! Overalls! Beanie cap with a propellor!
Babidi - Give him Bibidi's outfit.
Dabura - A halo.
Buu - His "handsome face" he showed off as he was wrecking that city.
Garlic Jr. - Kami robes!
Dr. Wheelo - Attach some bumper stickers.
Tullece - Give him Goku's Gi.
Slug - I thought Slug already had an alternate costume? One with the helmet, one without? If not, then that should be it.
Salza - A striped shirt, scarf, and a beret.
Cooler - Give him some armor.
#13 - ... Flip his cap backwards.
Broly - Put a snazzy tie on him.
Zangya - Put her in leather. :D
Bojack - Captain Bojack Sparrow!
Janemba - Dress him like one of the Spanish Inquisition. Nobody will expect that.
Hildegarn - Give him Godzilla spikes.
Baby Vegeta - Give him some snazzy new armor. Never really liked the look of his GT ones.
Super #17 - Tie back his hair for crying out loud. He's constantly having to brush it back while he fights; I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Then kill you.
Nova Shenron - His blue self is actually representative of his twin brother, so I'm not sure if I'd call that just a pallet swap. But otherwise, give him his initial appearance that he fought base Goku in before they both powered up.
Syn/Omega Shenron - Mickey Mouse ears.
Tao Pai Pai - His cyborg self actually has different moves that depend on the cyborg parts, so that's probably better left as a separate character. How about the striped thing he wore after Goku's Kamehameha trashed his regular outfit?
Devilman - "Angelman." While using this outfit, his "Angelmite Beam" is extra-effective against good-hearted enemies.
Pilaf Machine - Flames painted on the mech(s)!
Tamborine - Dress him up like a flying monkey.
Arale - I'm sure there's a multitude of iconic outfits from Dr. Slump she could be wearing. Alternatively, maybe it could be her brunette self from the 90's series?
ChiChi - How 'bout a Kame Gi? Or a kiddie-sized version of her 23rd Budokai outfit?
Spopovich - His scruffy-looking past self who was beaten by Mr. Satan.
Future Gohan - One-armed variant, of course.

Appule: Or'n

Babidi: ... Bibidi? :?
Buu: Does that awkward magazine-based transformation thing he did count? :P
Pilaf Machine: Black's Battle Jacket.
Tamborine: Cymbal?
ChiChi: Something less revealing? :P

I liked the Manga Colour Pallet swaps, they looked really nice, I wish all of the characters used them as well as different costumes.

I think everyone's said the mask from 23 Tenkaichi Budokai for Yajirobe, but I'd love to see him with a mustache.

I would agree, but I suspect that since they gave a character two arms when his entire image is on having only one arm, there has to be some kind of programming reason for it.

I highly doubt it, I don't see any reason as to why not make the arm invisible. For the programming, the arm would still be there, for the person visualizing it, there would be no arm.

I could see that. Something like the following might add up to it.

A) He'd need completely new animations for things like Blocking.

B) the modes where you have to keep pressing buttons to fill a metor show punch for punch fighting. Him having one arm might present a problem there.

C) some moves e.g flying kicks to arms. Would need to be programmed to hit his chest.

D) Grapples/throws by him oor others would be effected



Those things plus a few others would require a lot of work for 1 character. As these games have a lot of characters all this work for 1 that directly effects the others could present a problem.

Not to mention all his attacks used one arm anyway.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

Actually, Future Gohan in Sparking! METEOR only uses one arm, already. His arm doesn't touch anything at all, it just sways around. He only "uses" it for blocking or if he gets into one of those super punching power struggle things, and that's only because they're the same on every other fucking character. (Which annoys me to no end).

All they'd need to do is take the arm off of the model. They wouldn't even need to change anything else (maybe they could tie up the sleeve if they really wanted to). I mean, shit, he already has the scars. I'm pretty sure that it was a ratings reason. Having the game rated M because someones arms gets blasted off would lower the sales quite a bit.
